Two of the most important things to me in life are truth and transparency. Ever since I was a kid, I loved breaking past outer appearances and diving into the core of what makes us human.

So, what does make us human?

There are many traits, but today I want to focus on two: fearand resistance. These are two of the major building blocks of what makes a human, and what constitutes life in this three-dimensional realm. Without fear and resistance, we transcend our bodies and this time-bound condition, and dissolve back into the eternal Cosmic soup.

Fear and resistance are Universal. When we realize that others fear, just as we do, it brings us closer together, for it reminds us that we are but different appendages on one giant Universal body. Resistance is born out of fear, and it creates our physical and mental boundaries around us, which we then perceive as our reality. Whenever we reach a boundary, we feel resistance. We feel physical boundaries as the walls that encase our house, and the muscles that encase our bodies. We experience mental boundaries as judgments, close-mindedness, stubbornness, and ignorance. Emotional resistance is felt through fear, jealousy, anger, hatred, and disgust. It is necessary that we feel each of these physical, mental, and emotional resistances, so we can know exactly where we have to push in order to expand our boundaries. And why do we want to expand our boundaries? So we can create more room in which to dance the ecstatic dance of life. =)

I loooooove me some Chinese food, but let’s face it – the majority of Chinese food in small towns like mine is less than sub par quality. Usually loaded with msg and other harmful ingredients, it leaves you feeling like a bag of poop after eating it. Not to mention, it’s almost impossible to find vegan options anyway.

Until now! This incredibly delicious vegan fried rice is not only heaps healthier than the restaurant version, but the flavour is in a leeeaague of its own =).
